Wasted Cinema Presents: Hobo with a Shotgun

Well bad movie lovers, this is it. After three and a half years and over 40 events, the time has come to say goodbye. Please join us as Wasted Cinema goes out with a BANG on April 8th with our screening of Hobo With a Shotgun!

(We're going to miss a lot about Wasted Cinema, but making bad puns like that sure isn't one of them. Our sincerest apologies)

Hobo with a Shotgun is the movie that started it all for us. Bored one night, two friends got together to play a drinking game to this, the craziest movie we could find on Netflix. It was so fun we decided we had to share the activity with the world. Wasted Cinema grew from that, and we saved this movie for just the right time.

There really is nothing that can be said about this movie that isn't covered by the trailer. Basically, a hobo with a heart of gold decides he is tired of seeing crime and corruption in his city, and realizes the only way to do something about it is to pick up his shotgun and get to work. A true grindhouse revival - this movie is bloody fun, emphasis on the blood. You've been warned:

We love our events and we love all of you people that have joined us along the way. Join us one last time as we celebrate ending this so-bad-it's-good chapter in our lives.

How it works

At Wasted Cinema, we do more than just watch awesomely bad movies. You're encouraged to interact and take part in our "toastworthy moments" - movie cues that tell you when to drink along with the absurdity on screen. Movie themed-cocktails and drink specials should add to your enjoyment of this already thoroughly enjoyable film.

Plus, a live Twitter stream where you can share your commentary, along with a raffle to win a DVD of the movie and other prizes.

A full dinner menu is available all night. So come early to get a seat, a drink and some snacks.

Spread the word and feel free to invite people using 'invite' button the event page.

Past Events

The Room (2/26/2016)

The Room, part IV. We keep watching and we keep loving. But hey, that's life! What a story, Johnny.

Fire Birds (9/18/2015)

Nic Cage trains for a mission he basically already did at the start of the film. He is the only man who can drive blind, knock out Tommy Lee, and win the war on drugs in a head-to-head helicopter dog fight. He. Is. The Greatest!

Howard the Duck (10/9/2015)

Howard is a duck. From space. Don't worry about how or why he got to Earth, or why it seems unclear whether people notice or care that he is a talking duck. Just have another drink. I know Howard will.

Sharknado 3 (7/22/2015)

Believe it or not, for the third summer in a row, a dangerous sharknado is threatening to destroy the country! It's up to Finn and company to destroy those sharks the only way they know how: by commandeering a secret NASA spaceship and shooting them with space lasers.

Top Dog (8/26/2015)

It's the story of a tough, street wise cop named Reno and his quest for vengeance. And his human partner, Chuck Norris. They try to stop a vague racist threat trying to celebrate Hitler's birthday.

The Room (04/17/2015)

The genuinely best, worst movie ever made. Johnny loves Lisa, Lisa loves Mark and Denny loves everybody and maybe has a drug problem or drug business. Whatever is going on, we love them all and we can't get enough.

Snakes on a Plane (05/08/2015)

Hundreds of snakes, on a plane. They are amped up on pheromones and attacking women, children and dogs. Only one man can stop them: Samuel L. Jackson. Do what he says if you want to live.

Garbage Pail Kids (02/20/2015)

Leprechaun 4: In Space

A bunch of ugly, little kids with no social skills (but amazing fashion sense!) have two wishes. They want to find their friends who were arrested for being too ugly for society. And they want to help Dodger score with an older, prettier girl. Only one wish can come true!

A tiny, evil leprechaun terrorizes a bunch of marines in space! All he wants is to marry an alien princess to get more power and riches. And somehow he never even rhymes.

Thankskilling (11/21/2014)

A killer turkey returns from Pilgrim times to seek his revenge. On one small town. Specifically just one group of extremely caricatured friends. Who will survive: geek, jock, girl-next-door, slut, or fat guy? Or turkey??

Black Sheep (01/16/2015)

Ahh, New Zealand. A beautiful, peaceful countryside where one man's dream of creating a perfect new breed of sheep by genetically mutating it with his own DNA, somehow, shockingly, goes awry. Beware of sheep, accents and flatulence.

Batman and Robin (10/10/2014)

Troll 2/Plan 9 from Outer Space (10/24/2014)

Ahnold is back, and he is serving up some ice-cold revenge. If you like old-school superhero movies then you are in luck. We are talking mega-spandex outfits, exclusively corny dialogue, and some ridiculous action props (bat skates?!). Plus, as a bonus, some weirdly incestuous bat-flirting.

Our first double-feature! Two heavyweight classics of bad cinema go head-to-head. Troll 2: are they trolls? Goblins? Vegetables? Will pissing on hospitality be allowed? Plan 9: will aliens finally find the right plan to take over the world (aka, making 3 zombies)? Does it matter if a scene takes place during day and night at the same time?

Double Team (08/15/2014)

Van Damme is a secret agent too good to be killed. But after he fails his mission he'll need the help of Dennis Rodman and some basketball puns to take out his enemy and escape his so-called friends. Together they can survive nonsensical action, training montages and a strangely sentient tiger.

Over the Top (09/18/2014)

Stallone stars as a creepy father who attempts to overcome all odds and reasonable physics to win an arm wrestling competition, plus the love of his son.

Hercules in New York (05/09/2014)

Ahnold is ze great Hercules! He takes on all the greatest challenges of New York and mythology, from understanding cab drivers to fighting a mighty bear. His first (and best?) foray into acting is a feat not to be missed.

Ninja III: The Domination (03/14/2014)

When a bad-ass ninja's spirit possesses a fine-ass aerobics instructor's body, things get deadly. And sexy. Pass that V8 juice!

Super Mario Bros (06/18/2014)

The classic plumber brothers take Dino-hatten in this... imaginative re-imagining. No leak or prehistoric lizard-man problem is too big to handle with their power boots, harmonica pal Toad and creepy (but cute) Yoshi.

Hobgoblins (04/18/2014)

These furry little aliens have invaded Earth and they are out for murder. But not before helping their victims live their utmost fantasy. And not even an aging security guard can stop them (though he might delay them for 30 years). Watch out!

Cool as Ice (01/17/2014)

Vanilla Ice storms into a random town with a motorcycle to save the day and make this good girl fall in love with the "bad" boy.

The Room (02/21/2014)

The second time was just as charmed. Tommy stole all our hearts and just generally tore us apart. Friendship, romance, and dialogue all sort of play a role in this movie!

Army of Darkness (10/18/2013)

Bruce Campbell at his absolute best fights off the worst movie villains you've ever seen in this epic final installment of the Evil Dead franchise. His weapon of choice? Bad-ass one liners. And a chainsaw.

Samurai Cop (11/22/2013)

Joe Marshall was trained by the "masters" in Japan. He's a cop and a samurai. Now he is out to stop the Japanese mob (?) from doing something (?) by beating them with their own culture and a glorious wig.

Birdemic (7/12/2013)

A semi-interesting love story turns into tragedy as the environment collapses and giant PNG birds attack! Will some coat hangers and a million-dollar-salesman be enough to stop them?

Vampire's Kiss (9/20/2013)

Nic Cage plays a man going more insane than himself. He thinks he is a vampire, eats bugs, and harasses Alva because why isn't the file in the $*%&#! right alphabetical order?!

Piranha 3D (5/10/2013)

A pack of prehistoric piranha have been living in an underground lake for eons. After breaking free, they attack a lake town filled with spring-breakers while the sheriff and the crew for a Wild Wild Girls video try to save everyone. If none of that makes any sense to you, then enjoy!

Cobra (6/21/2013)

Cobra stars every 80's and cop stereotype cliche you can think of, AND Sylvester Stallone. Cobra is a tough cop who works alone and breaks all the rules.

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (3/8/2013)

Welcome to the 80's! Breakin' 2 is complete with neon colors, jive slang, leg warmers and plenty of break dancing. An evil real estate mogul wants to tear down the community recreation center to build a new, evil, mall. But with the feel-good power of dance, the local kids just might be able to stop him!

Miami Connection (4/12/2013)

It's the story of one rock band's quest to sing songs about eternal friendship. And also to fight motorcycle-riding ninjas, and to defeat the cocaine trade in Miami, and to find Jim's father after all these years. It's a new classic.

Jack Frost (1/11/2013)

Serial killer Jack Frost gets a nasty/adorable genetic transformation and turns into a snowman. He's still a killer though, and he goes on a rampage against the little town of Snowmonton and the sheriff who arrested him.

The Room (2/8/2013)

You're tearing us apart, Wiseau! The infamous cult movie finally comes to Wasted Cinema, spoons and all. It's the tale of Johnny who thinks he has it all, until everybody betrays him and he gets fed up with this world. And something about a drug dealer and breast cancer, we think. There is a reason this movie sells out midnight shows all across the country.

Drive Angry (11/16/2012)

The one and only Nic Cage breaks out of Hell to take revenge on the cult leader who killed his daughter. He's mad. And he can't be stopped.

Santa's Slay (12/15/2012)

Ho, Ho, Holy Hell breaks loose as Santa (wrestler Bill Goldberg) resumes his celebration of Christmas as "the day of slaying" and kills everybody he can. Plus some claymation.

Gymkata (9/14/2012)

Gymnastics and Karate combine! New special agent Jonathan Cabot tries to conquer a dangerous obstacle course to win the heart of the princess and one free wish.

Batman (10/12/2012)

To celebrate NY Comic Con, we gave the 1966 classic Batman: The Movie the Wasted Cinema treatment. Holy good time, Batman!

Troll 2 (7/13/2012)

A family vacation to Nilbog goes horribly wrong when it turns out the townsfolk are actually trolls! ... er, wait, no it turns out they are goblins. And they are hungry for their favorite meal: half plant and half tourist.
